[at-l] Yankee or DIxie

[Mark Hudson]

(Most) accents have always intrigued me... I had the pleasure of meeting a
young woman some years ago that had a slight trace of an English accent.
Turns out she was from Tennessee, from so far back up in the hollers that
the accent was a trace of the old King's English (absolutely no relation to
the southern drawl y'all hear <g>)

And "mosquito" is just fine - it's just that "Mosquito-bait" just wasn't
going to work as a trail name...  :  )

BTW, a Virginia friend of my here at work kept mispronouncing "Keene" (as in
Keene Valley, NY) as "Ka-neen".
I explained to the rest of the guys at work that you couldn't expect much
from someone that came from where "sh*t" at at least two syllables and maybe
three...  <g>
